A week of Drama

School started a few days ago and it feels as if I have been in school for weeks. The week started off with Monday Blues as I couldn't shake off the weekend mood and had to attend lectures with half a mind. The lecturers in my faculty are so good at putting people to sleep even though it's introductory lectures and it's meant to be light. I also did some catching up with my faculty friends and exchanging the New Year pleasantries and holiday stories. Being a co-chair of the NTU-NIE speech contest, I have to do loads of planning together with Wahyu, my other co-chair and by the time I come back to my hostel, it will around 12am.

The worst highlight was misplacing my pencil box as it contained my stationary for the entire year and the thought of replacing it really put me off. I somehow managed to find it in a lecture theatre when I had to travel the places I visited around my huge campus. Lesson learnt: I began to check for my pencil before I leave a place.

After my tuition, there was a sudden downpour and I had to borrow an umbrella from my tuition kid. The rain was so bad and the wind kept changing direction that my entire shoe was drenched and my jeans was soaked and while I was in the chapter meeting, I was freezing my ass off and coughing so bad that I went to the toilet to take off my socks. It was an experience and it made me realise that I should perhaps carry an extra pair of socks in my bag in case of a sudden downpour.

I'm glad that Arsenal handed Liverpool a 6-3 trashing in their own backyard. The result is even more signifacnt as it's their second meeting in four days and I expected Liverpool to exact revenge in the league cup tie after the 3-1 defeat and half of Arsenal team is made of youngsters and unknowns and that makes it even sweeter. Liverpool specialises in cup competitions and they now have the Champions League to work on as the league title seem a distant dream for them. I have a bad feeling that Arsenal is likely to lose their next game as they have played two games in a span of four days and I hope to be proven wrong of course
